Morning Observations is a new feature, where we break down the previous night’s game with an analytical eye. After largely playing good hockey over the past three or so weeks, after a fairly strong performance the previous night in St. Louis, I would be willing to guess that Flyers fans were as interested to see…
The number three pops up a lot. It’s everywhere in both math and various world religions. You have the rule of threes. Then there’s sports, where a hat trick is three goals, or the NHL’s new three-on-three overtime. And with three-on-three overtime, a lot of records are being broken. The idea was to have more…
Make that two shutouts for Steve Mason this season. In his first one, back on Nov. 28 against the New York Rangers, he stopped 24 shots: a modest number, but not necessarily eye-popping or game-stealing. But then there was his effort against the Canucks last night, in which he stopped all 36 pucks Vancouver sent…

What better is Bernie Parent known for than being one of the best goaltenders the Philadelphia Flyers have ever had? That makes his Philadelphia origin story, as told via the Players’ Tribune, all the more awesome: In 1967, I was coming off my second season with the Bruins. There were only six teams then. It…

Here are Dave Hakstol and his players speaking to the media about tonight’s game after weekend practice. [Flyers] *The Flyers tried really hard Saturday night against the Blue Jackets but came up short in the dumb stupid…
Morning Observations is a new feature, where we break down the previous night’s game with an analytical eye. This was about as evenly matched of a contest as the NHL can provide. The Flyers were ever so slightly the better team at even strength (they led 48-43 in total shot attempts, 23-21 in shots on…
The last NHL team Ray Emery has played for – and, at this rate, likely will ever play for – is the Philadelphia Flyers. Picked up in 2013-14, he played 28 games for the Flyers, posting a .903 save percentage; he came back the following season for 2014-15, playing 31 games and dropping to a…
Morning Observations is a new feature, where we break down the previous night’s game with an analytical eye. While the outcome was certainly different, last night’s loss wasn’t all that dissimiliar in structure to the Flyers‘ victory over the Vancouver Canucks on Thursday. Just as they did on Thursday, the Flyers were sloppy early, particularly…
